Having already treated his Music for Installations to a big box set release this year, Brian Eno is now set to reissue four of his pioneering ambient records next month.

Eno's 1975 release Discreet Music, 1978's Ambient 1: Music for Airports and Music for Films, and 1982's Ambient 4: On Land will all come back to wax on November 16 as deluxe reissues through UMC / Virgin EMI.

Each title has been pressed as a 2xLP set, half-speed mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios for 45 RPM. The albums will arrive in a gatefold sleeve with obi strip, an Abbey Road certificate of authenticity and a download voucher.

All four titles will also be pressed as a single LPs. Watch a trailer for the releases below, and find pre-order information here.
